Aid in Digestion and Detoxification

Watermelon's high water content is one of its primary advantages. It is thought to be constituted of around 91 percent water, which can aid in detoxification and help rid the body of excess water and fluids, alleviating painful bloating and swelling. Detoxification also requires potassium and magnesium.

Potassium functions as an electrolyte and improves circulatory health, as well as assisting in the management of blood flow and hydration levels inside the body, allowing oxygen to reach your cells. At the same time, magnesium lowers water retention in the stomach, which helps you shed water weight and avoid bloating.

Another intriguing discovery from recent animal research is that drinking watermelon juice reduces fasting blood glucose levels considerably in diabetic mice models. The juice appears to alter the composition of the gut microbiota, which may have beneficial metabolic consequences.
